Kv3.1 Interaction with UBR5 Is Required for Chronic Inflammatory Pain.

Chronic inflammatory pain caused by neuronal hyperactivity is a common and refractory disease. Kv3.1, a member of the Kv3 family of voltage-dependent K channels, is a major determinant of the ability of neurons to generate high-frequency action potentials.

Faraday Instability in Viscous Fluids Covered with Elastic Polymer Films.

Faraday instability has great application value in the fields of controlling polymer processing, micromolding colloidal lattices on structured suspensions, organizing particle layers, and conducting cell culture. To regulate Faraday instability, in this article, we attempt to introduce an elastic polymer film covering the surface of a viscous fluid layer and theoretically study the behaviors of the Faraday instability phenomenon and the effect of the elastic polymer film. Based on hydrodynamic theory, the Floquet theory is utilized to formulate its stability criterion, and the critical acceleration amplitude and critical wave number are calculated numerically.

A Real-Time 3D Laparoscopic Imaging System: Design, Method, and Validation.

Objective: This paper aims to propose a 3D laparoscopic imaging system that can realize dense 3D reconstruction in real time.

Methods: Based on the active stereo technique which yields high-density, accurate and robust 3D reconstruction by combining structured light and stereo vision, we design a laparoscopic system consisting of two image feedback channels and one pattern projection channel. Remote high-speed image acquisition and pattern generation lay the foundation for the real-time dense 3D surface reconstruction and enable the miniaturization of the laparoscopic probe.
